“Independence Day 2” Casting Very Featured Roles in NM

“ID2” called “Independence Day Forever” is casting for featured roles in NM that include paid travel to Utah for filming.

The movies casting directors are seeking men of all ethnicities between the ages of 20 and 45 to play military soldiers. The roles will have multiple filming dates in Albuquerque as well as some filming dates in Utah. The roles are described as very featured and those cast will be working in scenes with one of the film’s leads, Jeff Goldblum. Talent applying must have a military look, be willing to get a military style haircut and must have previous military experience. The extras casting directors for the project are On Location and they are only interested in talent that is local to the New Mexico area. They will not be considering talent from out of state for the spots.

“Independence Day Forever” will be split into 2 parts.  “Independence Day Forever Part 1”  is being filmed now and will be coming to theaters summer of 2016. According to the film’s IMDB page, the movie has a stunning budget of $200,000,000 and will star Jeff Goldblum, Vivica A. Fox,  Bill Pullman, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Liam Hemsworth, Travis Tope and Jessie Usher. In the film, a new wave of alien ships comes to Earth 20 years after the initial 1996 visit. They will obviously not be too happy to find out that the Earthlings nuked their brethren creating the biggest 4th of July fireworks show of all time…. chaos is sure to follow.
